This was an example for reproducing my problem.
Remove gtk_main() please. It doesn't concern the problem.

I've noticed this problem isn't occured if I removed gtk_widget_show_all().

My issue was:

I want to free GtkWindow which is showed. But gtk_widget_destroy() seems
not to free allocated area completely. 

But I could solve it with the code below:

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv){  
  GtkWidget* window;
  gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

  while(TRUE){
    window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
    gtk_widget_show_all(window);
    gtk_widget_destroy(window);
    while(gtk_events_pending()){
      gtk_main_iteration();
    }
  }
  return 0;
}

Thanks.
